Dojo Defender

Dojo Defender is our house game: a top-down survival shooter that we build together over several sessions.

Who is it for?

Dojo Defender is for ninjas who come along regularly. The game grows along with the normal lessons over 7 sessions. Only drop by now and then? No problem: do the mini-game of that session. It is always complete on its own.

Don’t count on a complete Dojo Defender if you miss a lot of sessions. But the template and all the snapshots are on this site, so building on at home is always possible.

How do I join in?

• From lesson 2 you get a Dojo Defender snapshot at the end of every lesson: a ZIP file you can download from the lesson page.
• Unpack it, open it in Thonny, and the next lesson you continue with it.
• Missed a lesson? Download the snapshot of that lesson, or skip a lesson and pick it up further on.

Can I make it my own thing?

Yes! Change the name, the graphical style, the story. Dojo Defender is a template, not an obligation.
